Trump started war between Israel and Palestine when Trump moved US embassy to Jerusalem against advisors in 2018 which war continue to today with tens of thousands dead and he takes no accountability.
😢😢 are you VETERANS finally paying attention to what this man is saying disrespecting and degrading ret VETERANS disabled veterans and Goldstar families are you listening and finally paying attention😢😢
The party of law and order became the party of disorder and unlawful .
Trump wasn't disrespecting veterans. He wasn't saying what is true. If you had a choice to choose which of those medals you would receive, would you want the one you get after being injured badly, or the other one. It's better to not be injured. He wasn't saying the veterans medal was less than. It is definitely more honorable and noble to get the veterans medal, but who ever wants to be injured? Alot of people don't have what it takes to get veterans medal. All he was saying is it's better to not be injured. Can anyone disagree that it's better to not be injured?
Like how trump supporters say he respects them because he attended a fallen soldiers ceremony
Im like pretty sure he only attended to make himself look good plus coming from the dude who called a war hero not a war hero cuz he was captured and well saying he was basically the equivalent of a soldier in Vietnam by banging all these women
Dosent sound very respectful of our veterans who shed blood and sacrificed their lives
Enough is enough shame on this man
Did you even listen to what he said? Did anyone commenting even listen to what he said. He didnt disrespect anyone or anything. This is why no one trusts the MSM anymore.
🛑 TRUMP IS IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT TO ESCAPE ACCOUNTABILITY. 🛑
Trump thinks he's above the law but likes to throw dirt on opponents.
We see Trump's dirt. He has paid money to silence an affair. Has paid TOP DOLLARS to lawyers, never sits on the witness seat. Uses the Supreme Court to get his bidding.
Repeats lies daily for an election that was NEVER STOLEN. 60 plus court hearings and NO systemic fraud was found.
Invented lies on Dominion Voting Machines that was proven false, they said lies with false premises.
Even Bill Barr, Lindsay Graham, and many said election was won fair and square by Biden. They fabricated false electors slate to coup the Peace Transfer of Power. Manipulated people and incited a January 6th Rebellion.
Don't give the power to a dictator that said he'd like to have the powers of the communist dictator of North Korea, Russia and China.
🤨OK I Agree Trumps an Offensive Troll! 😒 But how is this worse than Al Gores attempt to get absent military personnel's ballots from being counted when he was running for election? With that I rest my case. Nice attempt at Trolling PMSNBC🤦
Trump is to blame for attack on airport that killed those 13 soldiers. In 2020 he assisted release of 5,000 TALIBAN PRISONERS who turned around and attacked airport.
I didn't hear him disrespect anyone , he said it's equivalent to the highest metal you get when your in the military but it's the civilian version. The way you twist the truth is unbelievable. Democrats have lost their minds. John McCain is a P.O.S.. he killed his own U. S. Navy men from screwing around in his jet. He also sold out America when captured nickname "songbird"
If anyone thinks he was disrespecting veteran's are brainwashed. He was compairing a military metal to a civilian metal… Besides if you like paying all this xtra money for food, gas ,electric by all means vote for a democrat. Then next thing you know were a third world country.
DEFEND America, spread the word. Trump is a traitor! He and others are colluding with Russia to turn us on ourselves. This is the time to defend America. Vote for the constitution. Vote blue, at least for now!!!
CNN is nothing but fake news they have lied to us from the start and they will do anything to destroy America bet they will not .
Good luck CNN woke media you will pay for all of your lies when you stand before God and our Lord Jesus may God have mercy on your souls
Peak TDS😂😂😂
This is just more media twist and lies grasping to make up things that are just not true. Trump will do more for military than any democrat.
He a draft dodger coward
Fake like always stop lying and changes the real content..
I guess you are grasping at straws . What he is saying is most medal of honors are posthumous and the other medal is giving to live people only. So which is better to receive. For any one. You always cut his words and videos short. In an attempt to disrespect him. McCain was a liar and a songbird. If you dont vote for me you are not black. Biden was a draft dodger. Did you ever bring it up. Harris did pay people to show up for her rally.
Oh my Lord what a bunch of whiney babies!!! I am a military wife & I didn't feel like he disrespected my husband. Fake news media twisted the words. Word comprehension isn't your strong suit. Quit!!!!
where is the clip in which he takes the purple heart from someone, was it taken off the air, My dad WW2 received the purple heart, he was proud he could serve, he lost parts of his hand, and was in and out the hospital in his recovery, and when Trump said about Mc Cain, my uncle recieved POW metal he was in the death march, he was a POW for 5 years in Japan, he was listed that he was dead, once he was freed he stayed in the Navy until he retired, I could never vote for Trump and no military family should vote for Trump
Take those high mf vibrations.
Play the ENTIRE THING🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Why do the press start drama and stir pot ??
Nice how MSNBC bouts their spin on it
If one had an inkling of a brain, they would understand that the outcome is better, not the person. But let's misconstrue everything and villanize for no reason
Donald J Trump has an authoritarian dictatorship spur in his demented & self-serving egotistical brain.
That is not what he said! Take everything out of context!
Trump is a narcissist
I dont care for the words that he chose. American soldiers are heros, but he mentioned what has to happen to a soilder to get the same award.
Weve been told that our soldiers fight for our country to keep it and our boarders safe. Based on whats going on at our boarders, Im not sure that its Trump who dishonors our soilders.
This week 9/16/24, Ive see more Mexican flags flying, than American flags. Is THAT what our soilders fought for?
The Medal of Freedom was sold to the highest bidder
I have a great uncle who was KIA in France on Nov 4, 1918. He was no sucker or loser. I miss a man I'll never know.
As a Vietnam Veteran I would like to thank you for having bone spurs and staying home! Guess why if you can!
ZERO proof of Trump saying suckers and losers but OKAY. Biden being a racist POS is all over the internet (video proof) and you want to ignore that. Propaganda at it's finest!
Trump is not fit to lick the boots of service men.
And HE'S Presidential?? Still desecrating the memories of our Veterans who gave their all. HE is weak and evil, along with all who support this man.
Being alive is better than the horror they go through. Pretty basic
… if you understand it’s better to be recognized with all body parts in tack than to have given body parts and death to receive a medal. What’s crazy is giving your life for your country and getting a medal for your sacrifice. What’s crazy is giving an arm and getting a medal for your sacrifice. What’s crazy is giving the literal skin off your body and getting a medal for your sacrifice – if I had a choice I’d rather receive a medal than sacrifice quality of life and get a medal – I’d want my better quality of life. ..so yes it is better because she didn’t lose limb or life but she sacrificed for country and all of us who served sacrificed for country. ..and that’s what he means. I’m a veteran and served in Afghanistan as a civilian and was a military active duty member who has a disability and if I had a choice I’d chose a whole better quality of life over a medal – and I too have a high honor medal for my service. Everyone who goes into battle receives a medal/ribbon those who are injured recipe a Purple Heart and possible a star of honor my uncles got Purple Hearts in WWII and were totally messed up and I bet they’d trade that Purple Heart in for a right mind and no poop bag. So that’s what he means and once again the media twists it. There is no finer President who loves our military.
I am a Marine Corp veteran. What are your thoughts on what he said?
I think what he was saying is that anyone that goes to war and gets shot or is killed gets the metal of honor. Say for example, a marine fresh out of boot camp has to go to Iraq and he gets shot or killed on day one. He or she gets a metal of honor without having to do anything but get hit by a bullet or killed. Whereas, in order for a civilian to get it, they have to do much more to receive the equivalent metal of honor.
I also think that having a parade with dismembered veterans would not be a good look. That could turn Americans against war, the military, etc. if the see the damages that war causes in real life.
When you talk about Israel defending themselves that’s fine. However, when you continue to bomb a country and do it aggressively, it is no longer defense. Israel is now on offense and Palestine is now on defense.
Think of football. When the defense gets an interception they are now on offense and the other dates an offense becomes the defense. What Israel is doing is no longer defense; they are the aggressors. Defense is like protecting the end zone from an offensive score.
We need critical thinking here. Something that is not taught in schools for good reason. That is, most will buy anything that they are selling.
The one thing that I teach me children since they were little is to learn how to think, not what to think. The media tells you what things are so that you do not have to think or wonder. The will tell you what some meant by what they said or did vs allowing you to take it in and determine for yourself what it really is. It is a must that we teach critical thinking so that we can recognize propaganda at face value. They cannot state Trumps reading for what he did or said no more than they can tell you your reason for doing or what you say. Don’t interpret what it is media. Invite the person in the show, ask the question and then you will get the answer straight from the horse mouth without having to decipher what you think it is.
Meaning that person got it without a pay check. He didn't say anything wrong in the first statement.
So they only have that and they are going off from liberal press lol yeah okay. He didn't even bash the vets. He was explaining what that medal was. Simple as that.

And yet Trump goes to visit the troops and even on holidays but no other president ever did that.
Squawking , croaking, sounding and like a trump windmill. a talking crap. Inflation is under control. The economy is booming.
The economy under trump over all was a mess. Obviously the Good ol boy had it right a simple man that eats breakfast. Really?? Says it all . Just another Republican numb skull.
